HARRISBURG, PA Monday Afternoon, September 16, 1861. A BATTLE AND A VICTORY. OkILANT CONDUCT OF COL. GEARY It will be seen by our usual telegraphic sum mary, and which has also been corroborated by private despatches received in this city, that a severe battle was fought about three miles above Harper's Ferry, yesterday, in which a portion of the troops from Pennsylvania, under the lead of Col. Geary, behaved with great gal gantry, and thus maintained the honor and the valor of the Old Keystone state. Colonel Geary himself was a target for the sharp shooters of the enemy, one of whom was in the act of levelling his rifle at the breast of the Colonel, who, promptly snatching a piece from the hands of one of his followers, instant ly shot down his rebel adversary, and thus saved his own life for years of usefulness to his country and a nobler end than that of being the prey of a traitor assassin. This victory is one of the most signal and triumphant, and is another indication of that more stupendous triumph which our brave sol diers are preparing to achieve over rebellion in Virginia. CAPTAIN. D. H. HASTINGS During the crisis which has involved the states of this Union in such momentous excite ment and conflicts, there have been many brought prominently before the people, in va rious capacities, and who have monopolised a large share of credit and honor for services and labors that were often rendered by others—and there have also been a number of other men, intimately connected with the organization and disciplining of troops to swell the army of the Republic, who receive no credit, and are al most entirely unknown to the people as the agents and servants who were faithfully dis charging their most important business. Among this class of men is Captain David H. Hastings, an officer in the regular army, and a soldier who has served bravely and gallantly in the Indian wars and the bloody battles we were forced to fight with the ill-advised and meanly governed Mexicans. From the commencement of the con flicts of this rebellion Captain Hastings has been stationed in this city as disbursing agent of the fund appropriated by Congress to defray the expenses of equipping and organizing the troops volunteering in this state for the U. S. army, a duty at once arduous, important and responsible, but which Capt. Hastings has dis charged with that success which could only have been achieved by an experienced soldier, and the satisfaction which a gentleman can alone give in business. Last week Capt. Hastings was ordered to another duty of equal import ance, it being the superintendence of the mount ed recruiting service at Carlisle barracks. The introduction of cavalry into the army on a more extensive scale than was ever before attempted in this country, is to be one of the features of operation against the rebels, and as its organi zation involves great risks and important re sults, it was necessary to select one of the most efficient and experienced officers of the day for the work. The War Department has displayed its usual sagacity in ordering Capt. Hastings to this work, and we anticipate therefore for this arm of our national defences, a peculiar and glorious success. Capt. Hastings will necessarily be absent from this city the greater part of his time, although we understand that the disbursing of the fund for organizing recruits will still be under his charge, and that he will be in this city for bus iness at least for a few days every month. Tat NATIONAL LOAN is succeeding beyond expectation. Several hundred subscription agents were appointed last week in nearly every loyal state, including Virginia and Kentucky. A considerable number has already accepted, and sent in their bonds, and the others will probably all be at work this week. The sub scriptions of the people have exceeded nine mil lions, and their patriotic co-operation will doubt less enable the banks to take the second instal ment of fifty millions, and supply all the money needed for a vigorous but economical prosecu tion of the war. The administration feels the importance of justifying by vigor, economy and integrity the confidence manifested by the mas ses. . Wasteful expenditures and corrupt con tracts, by which alone the security of the work ingmen who-invest their earnings in the loan can be impaired, will be vigorously repressed. Tau Peacemakers in Kentucky have a queer way of extending the olive branch. At the late Frankfort Convention, one of the speakers hoped that "the angel of peace would guide a bullet to every Yankee's heart." TneEvsNrso ExPam, the sprightly daily of our Easton friends, is mistaken when it credits articles to the Harrisburg . Reporter. It should be the Tszakuton, from which it is always wel come toluote. GovieNoa BUCKINGHAM, of Connecticut, has appointed Thursday, September 26, as a day of fasting and prayer, in accordance with the President'l prochmuttiou. TIN ALLOTMENT TICKETS FOR VOLUN TEERS. Congress, at the extra session of July last, passed an act providing for the issuing of allot ment tickets to volunteers, by which they could remit any particular sum of money desired, at stated and regular periods to their families. It was a plan similar to one in use successfully in the navy, and the subject has been discussed freely by the press and the people as one calcu lated to do much good, but it seems now that no permanent arrangement has been adopted by the Paymaster Generalfor facilitating the opera tion of this plan, and that the wives and fami lies of absent soldiers must depend upon the remittances of their husbands and fathers as the are paid off in the camp, which in many in stances will prove rather uncertain and unre leiving. The allotment system, as we under stand it, is a standard agreement with the vol teer in the army or navy, that his family is to receive a specified portion of his pay during the term of his enlistment, which allotment cannot be recalled, and which is regularly paid by the agents of the government in certain localities. By the suggestion of the Paymaster General, however, the soldier can avail himself of the lesser denomination of treasury notes. If he does this, there will be no cause of complaint, but the habits and temptations of camp life will seduce many a soldier from that remembrance of his family which his duty would otherwise dictate and his will perform, and hence the suf fering which must result from the failure to adopt the allotment system, will be neither limited or light. It will not only deprive many a family of the means of comfort and support, but it will retain in the hands of many an otherwise good man the power of mischief and the tempt ation of self-abasement. We trust yet that the Paymaster General will reconsider his decision in this matter, and at once become convinced of the good results which would accrue from the allotment system. The following is his letter in reply to one of inquiry on this subject : PAYMASTER GENERAL'S OFFICE, t Sept. IU, 1861. Sir:—ln reply to your letter of the 6th inst., relative to a system of allotment ticket for vol unteers, you are informed that no practicable system has been found possible for the large force now in service. The soldier can, however, receive the small treasury notes in payment, which they can readily remit to their friends, Very respectfully, Bar. F. LA.B.NED, Paymr. Gen., 11. S. A. DEED OF _MANUMISSION. Major General John C. Fremont, as will be remembered by our readers, in a late proclama tion declared that the slave property of all per sons who were detected in giving aid to the traitor cause or taken prisoners with arms in their hands, or were known in any manner to be engaged in the work of rebellion, would be confiscated and set free. This proclamation ex cited the wonder, admiration, awe and in_ dignation of the people in different sections, ac cording to their modes of estimating the enor mities and merits of treason. By the following process it will be seen that Fremont is in earnest and that he intends to enforce his declaration to the fullest extent. The manner of manu mitting is thus described in a deed : Wirmases, Thomas L. Snead, of the city and county of St. Louis, State of Missouri, has been taking active part with the enemies of the United States, in the present insurrectionary movement against the Government of the United States. Now, therefore, I, John Charles Fremont, Major General Commanding the Western Department of the Army of the United States, by the authority of law, and the power vested in me as such commanding General, de clare Frank Lewis, heretofore held to "service or labor" by said Thomas L. Snead, to be free and forever discharged from the bonds of servi tude, giving him full right and authority to have, use and control his own labor, or service, as to him may seem proper, without any ac countability whatever to said Thomas L. Snead or any one to claim by, through or under him. And this Deed of Manumission shall be respect ed and treated by all persons, and in all courts of justice, as the full and complete evidence of the freedom of said Frank Lewis. In testimony whereof, this act is done at the Headquarters of the Western Department of the Army of the 'United States, in the city of St. Louis, State of Missouri, on the twelfth day of September, A. D. eighteen hundred and sixty one,• as is evinced by the departmental seal hereto affixed by my order. JOHN C. FREMONT, Major General Commanding In this connection we print the following letter from the President of the United States, to Gener al Freemont, modifmg that portion of the procla mation which is referred to by the act of manu mission. It will be seen that the President ap proves the general tenor of the proclamation, and suggests only such modifications as are de manded by the law : WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 11, 1861. To Major-General John C. Fremont: Sin :—Yours of the Bth inst., in answer to mine of the 20th inst., has just been received. Assuming that you, being upon the ground, could better judge of the necessities of your position than I could at this distance, on seeing your proclamation of August 30th, I perceived no general objection to it. The particular clause, however, in relation to the confiscation of pro perty and the liberation of slaves appeared to me to be objectionable in its non-conformity to the act of Congress, passed the 6th of last Au gust, upon the same subject, and hence I wrote to you, expressing my wish that that clause should be modified accordingly. Your answer, just received, expresses the pre ference, on your , part, that I should make an open order for the modification, which I very cheerfully do. It is, therefore, ordered that the said clause of said proclamation be so modified, held, and construed as to conform to, and not to transcend the provisions on the same subject contained in the act of Congress, entitled "An Act to confiscate the property used for insur rectionary purposes," approved August 6th, 1861, and that the said act be published at length, with this order. Your obedient servant, The act of Congress, relating to the slaves of rebels, which the President directs General Free mont to respect, is as follows : Sao. 4. And be it further enacted, That when ever hereafter, during the present insurrection against the Government of the United States, any person claimed to be be held to I•tbor or service under the law of any State shall be re quired or permitted by the person to whom such labor or service is claimed to be due, or by the lawful agent of such person, to take up arms against the United States; or shall be required or permitted by the person to whom such la bor or service is claimed to be due, or his law ful agent, to work as to be employed in or upon any fort, navy yard, dock, armory, ship, en trenchment, or in any military or naval ser vice whatsoever, against the Government and pennoviticinia Mak) ittelegrapl), .ftionatav Ifternoon, Stptember 16, 1861. lawful authority of the United States, then, and in every such case, the person to whom such labor or service is claimed to be due shall forfeit his claim to such labor, any law of the State or of the United States to the contrary notwith standing. And whenever thereafter the person claiming such labor or service shall seek to en force his claim, it shall be a full and sufficient answer to such claim that the person whose service or labor is claimed had been employed in hostile service against the Government of the United States. contrary to the provisions of this act.

ANOTHER PRIZE CAPTURED A party of fourteen contraband slavesescaped last night from near Bewails Point and came over to the Fortress in a canoe. They represent that provisions are very scarce in. Princess Anne Co., and that they were only some five hundred rebels at Sewall's Point; the force there is con stantly changing. The vessels comprising the blockading squadron previous to the Hatteras expedition are again returning to Old Point. The St. Lawrence has been off Savannah but brings no news. The Dale and Albatross are also in. The latter brings a prize. We learn from the Frenchman who deserted from the rebel steamer Yorktown, that she is actually iron plated so as to protect her sides and upper machinery: THE PRIVATEER SUMTER AGAIN DISTRESSING ACCOUNTS FROM TEXAS The United States frigate Sabine and sloop-of war Portsmouth bound south passed Cape Cod this morning. A letter from Surinam states that the pirate Sumter remained there, August 21st destitute of coal and provisions, and Capt. Simins threatened to fire on the town unless supplied. A letter from Capt. Lovejoy of the bark Illi nois at Vera Cruz, on September 4d, states that a schooner then in port had run the blockade at Galveston, and was bound back again with a cargo of coffee. The captain of the schooner reported that the greatest distress prevailed throughout Texas. Late accounts from Minattitlan report a pirate with four six-pounders as having arrived at that point. The United States steamer Illinois is bound to Minattitlan and is armed with three six•pounders,, and will probably have a brush with the said pirate. Miss Dix has spent the day at Old Point, and will proceed to-night to Washington. She ex presses herself highly pleased with the condi tion of the Hygeia hospital, which is now under the direction of Dr. Cu.yler. • Captain Dyer, of the Ordnance Department, has been transferred from Old Point to Spring field, Mass. Fire at the Wheatley's Continental Theatre, Philadelphia. FIFTRRN BALLET GIRLS INJURIII. FIVE BURNT TO DEATH MERLE OTHERS FATALLY BURNED, A dreadful affair occurred last night at Wheat 13y's Continental Theatre, on Walnut Street above Eighth. The performance was a fairy scene, and whilst the ballet girls were in the green room,* the dress of one of them caught fire, and the flames soon communicated to the dresses of the rest. Fifteen were more or less injured, some fatally. The greatest alarm prevailed, but the flames did not communicate to the body of the theatre, and the audience dispersed quietly. {SECOND DESPATCH.] A. LINCOLN PECIIADELPHIA, Sept. 16, P.M—Hannah and Zele Gall : the Misses Phillips, Mcßride, and Forden, who were burned by the fire at Wheat ley's Continental last night, all died during the day. Three more will probably also die. Mira Annie Nichols, who leaped from the flies is un harmed. Abbie Carr was reported as dead, but is likely to recover.

POINT of ROCKS, Sept. 15 About 3 o'clock this afternoon a force of 500 rebels attacked a portion of the troops under Col. Geary, stationed about three miles above Harper's Ferry. Col. Geary commanded in person, and the fight lasted about three hours. The enemy were driven from every house and breastwork, and no less than seventy-five of them are reported as killed and wounded. Our loss is one killed and a few slightly wounded. Our troops behaved like veterans. Companies B , D and I, of the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania regiment, and two companies of the Thirteenth Massachusetts, were engaged in the conflict. During the fight a rebel was seen taking aim at Colonel Geary, when the Colonel grasped a rifle from a soldier and shot him on the spot. Our troops are in fine spirits. LATER FROM MISSOURI JEITEBSON CITY, Sept. 14. The steamer Sioux City brings information that a fight occurred at Bonneville yesterday morning between the secessionists and the Home Guards, which terminated in the victory of the latter. The Home Guards held their entrenchments against the rebels, one thousand strong, who were driven back with a less of 12 killed and 30 wounded. The Home Guards lost only one man killed and four wounded. Among the killed of the rebels were Col. Brown and Capt. Brown. A small detachment of U. S. troops on the steamer "Sioux City" had an engagement with Col. Green's force at Glasgow, lasting about half an hour, when a battery of three guns opened on the boat and she retired without loss. Adviees from Hannibal of the 12th inst. state that the rebels have full possession of St. Joseph and the surrounding country. The Union meh were suffering the devastation of their property. Gen. Hardee, with 800 rebels, was at Greene ville on the 13th, and threatened to march upon Ironton immediately. ST. Louis, Sep. 15.--Advices from Northwest Missouri say that since the withdrawal of the Federal occupants from St. Josephs, that region is arming again. Some two thousand rebels are concentrated in Andrew county, under Ma jor Potter. Ahout the same number of Union ists, composed of Missourians and lowains, un der Cols. Crane and Edwards, had started far the same region, and both sides ware preparing for battle, so that a conflict may shortly be ex pected.:.. Tom Hayne, with a force of one thousand men, crossed.the Missouri river at Arrow Rock on Tuesday last, bound for Gen. Price's army. Six hundred secessionists under Col. Hull were marching towards Glasgow on Wednesday last, to cross the river and join Martin Green. The secession camp at Sick Creek, Monroe county, was broken up by the Federal troops on Sunday last, and it is reported that three hun dred rebels were captured. Another secession camp at Spencerburg, Pike county, was also broken up on Monday last, and sixteen seces sionists made prisoners. THE REPORTED PROCLAMATION OF THE CAPTAIN GENERAL OP CUBA, RECOG NIZING THE CONFEDERATE FLAG. WASHINGTON, Sept. 16 Tassara, the Spanish minister, las called to assure the Secretary of State that the report from Charleston that the Captain General of Cuba has issued a proclamation recognizing the Confederate flag is untrue. What has happened is simply that vessels from any port in the Uni ted States in possession of the Confederates, coming into port with regular papers, are ad mitted ex necessitate, without notice of their ir regularity, just as they have been admitted in all other ports since tne Confederates obtained possession of the custom-houses in the insurgent States. It is needless to say that no such ves sels can be abrOad without escaping the block ading force. There is no recognition of the Confederate flag in the Spanish ports, or any other ports. Interesting from Washington We clip - the following items of general local news from the Federal capital from the New York Evening Post, of Saturday last : GAMBLERS Di WASHINGTON Since the war opened this city has become the headquarters of a small army of gamblers and thieves, who as naturally cluster together near the spot where large disbursements of money are made, as bees do over a clover-field. Gam bling saloons are as thick here as they were at any time under the slaveholding regime, when a southern K. C. was known to gamble away his winter's pay in a single night, and some times adding thereto his plantation and negroes. Several prominent New Yorkers— prominent among the "fancy"—are here, and it is said do not relish the close attentions bestowed upon them of late by the Provost Guard. One of the most prominent of the gambling saloons was entered by a detachment of the Provost Guard a few nights since and the keeper arrested. His name is Hoydon, and a short time since he was reckoned a respectable citizen, and his wife a lovely woman. This morning the papers state that Mrs. -Hoy don yesterday attempted to leave her house on the cornice just below the roof, and did so suc cessfully. It is said that she is deranged, but there are many indications of sanity, and among them the strong desire to leave a gambling house after her husband had been taken from it, and some of his gambling friends remained. A day or two since she rushed out of the door of her house upon the avenue, exclaiming loud ly " Save me! save me ! Do not let me be taken back there!" Just as the crowd which stopped on the street were about to take the poor wo man by the hand, John C. Heenan, of pugilstic renown, jumped from the door of the house, and by main force drew • the woman in and bolted the door. In any ordinary times his conduct would have been examined into, but these are war times. The new police, however, has its eye upon the New York gentry, and will be down upon them when least expected. KENTIICKY MATTE 29 Mr. Holt was serenaded last evening, and responded in one of his eloquent speeches. He was terse and brief, thinking this was no time for words, but rather for blows. The night was very beautiful, and hundreds of people were gathered to hear the speech. Mr. Holt is very confident that Kentucky will go right, and that it cannot be taken out of the Union by the acts of Breckinridge and Magoffin. Andrew Johnson is doing good work in Ken tucky. It is perhaps not generally known that Mr. Johnson owns a fine estate in Tennessee, which is to be entirely confiscated by the rebel government at Richmond. He has not heard a word from his wife and children for many weeks, and has no hope of seeing them till the federal army opens Eastern Tennessee to loyal men. Few of the citizens of the free states who favor the zealdus prosecution of the wax are aware of the sacrifices made by Senator Johnson in adhering to the cause of the Union. He risked his entire fortune and family, and for the time becomes an exile from the native state he loves, and which has so honored him in the past. Mr. Johnson demands more troops and the rigorous prosecution of the war. Any at tempt to starve out the south, he says, will kw. The rebellion must be put down by the bayonet, and can be put down in no other way He is undoubtedly right. NORTH CAROLINA AFFAIRS A good deal has been said in the papers of late about certain alleged elections of four or five men in North Carolina, to the United States Congress. I have the best authority for saying that these statements are without foundation— that no such elections have taken place in North Carolina, but that four or five refugees have contrived a plan by which they expect to gain seats in Congress and a three thousand dollar salary, with mileage from the Old North State added. That a dozen men may have recently stated their willingness to vote for certain gen tlemen for Congress no one denies, but nothing that can be called an election has been held. There are thousands of good Union voters in North Carolina, but they have not authorized anybody to come to Washington as their repre sentative. They quietly await the arrival of the Federal army to assert once more the Fed eral authority, in that state. When that hour arrives, the loyal people will assert themselves. To do so before, would be to expose themselves to almost every imaginable horror. THE BALTIMORE PATRIOT, alluding to the ar rests made in that city on Friday, thus defends the motives and objects of the government : The incentive to this action on the part of the Government is engendered by a jealous regard for the safety of the people. Upon this, in times like the present, is predicated the transcendent powers which the government assumes. Of the exercise of these powers the Constitution gives ample sanction, and there are no restrictions upon its secret movements to thwart secret con nivances against it. The remedy is homcepathic, and to let the patient know the full extent of physician's discoveries, would only tend to aggravate the disease. We have confidence in the prescriptions, for although they produce nausea in some minds, these effects are but the pre•symptoms of convalescence and a restora tion to social health. When the fever is over, the doctor will give a diagnosis of the maladay. For the present, quiet is essential. filarrieb On the 16th, at the house of Ito' arent, by the Rev. D.
